The Cleveland Browns will be featured in 2018’s season of HBO’s Hard Knocks, but what should everyone be most excited to see on the show?
There had been early reports that the Cleveland Browns would be the NFL team featured on the 2018 edition of HBO’s Hard Knocks. However, we now know for sure that a team that has won a single game over the past two seasons will be the topic of the acclaimed series this year, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and confirmed by the show on social media.
Despite the distinct lack of success for the Browns over the past two seasons doesn’t diminish the excitement about this team. Cleveland, under the watch of new general manager John Dorsey, has made waves throughout the offseason. From trades to acquire Jarvis Landry and Tyrod Taylor to signing Carlos Hyde to selecting Baker Mayfield first overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, they’ve been anything but quiet.
That’s the type of stuff you want for Hard Knocks, and there is finally hope for this team. That should make for quality television. But on a more narrow level, what should NFL fans be excited for about this season of the show? Here are five things that should make that list.
5. Myles Garrett’s thoughts on life
The first overall pick in last year’s draft, Myles Garrett didn’t see a full rookie season as he started the year dealing with an injury. Once he saw the field though, it was clear why his stock was so high. He has the makings of a superstar in the Browns front-seven and will be wreaking havoc all throughout 2018 if he can stay healthy.
While it will be fun to see Garrett on the field though, it’ll be even more enjoyable to see him off it. The dinosaur-loving Texas A&M product is certainly in the running for the Most Interesting Man in the
World
NFL. Just give his Twitter account a peak if you want his thoughts on just about anything, but particularly about quantum physics and other things of that nature.
Seeing that on social media is great and thoroughly entertaining. However, getting to see him throughout training camp and what his personality is like in the Cleveland locker room will be something that should make the hours fly by on Hard Knocks.
